Sorry for the late reply guys. For some reason as yet unexplained Thunderbird decided to tell me I had unread emails but wouldn't display them! It's not running slowly at all, it just freezes at random points forcing you to power-cycle. I will be taking another look at it later on today. I may try a re-install with one of the other flavours, we'll see.
I've been getting this kind of behaviour with Thunderbird for a while. It's very noticeable on my rather slow netbook, but it happens too, on my up-to-the-mark quad core desktop, although for a much shorter time. It seems to be something to do with gmail downloading sometimes thousands of e-mails into 'all-mail' boxes (although I can't be sure this is where the problem starts. I have two imap accounts that use g-mail as the carrier. Other accounts such as gmx don't seem to have this problem. On the netbook, sometimes Thunderbird greys out for up to a minute before resuming. Sometimes while I'm typing an e-mail, the cursor freezes for a few seconds.
Anyone else notice this? The problem has been around for months now, and was there in 12.04 through later releases including Utopic (which I'm using now).
